While such homogeneity has distinct advantages in terms of ease-of-fabrication, it has also been shown that in multi-hop ad-hoc scenarios homogeneity leads to large duty cycles, small end-to-end data throughput and poor deployment lifetimes. In this paper, we investigate sensor networks that have a single degree of heterogeneity, a random subset of the sensors, called accumulators, have more power and computational capability.}, publisher = {IEEE Communications Society}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/a-case-for-resource-heterogeneity-in-large-sensor-networks/}, edition = {IEEE MILCOM (Invited Paper)}, note = {IEEE MILCOM (Invited Paper)}, }
